On Thursday afternoon, students in Years 5 and 6 were treated to an hour of interactive fun with Scottish author, Janis Mackay.
Janis used her story telling and acting skills to transport the students to their own imaginary worlds and inspire them to write time travel adventures of their very own.
Our students were keen to get their hands on signed copies of her latest series, the first of which – The Accidental Time Traveller – won the Scottish Children’s Book Award for younger readers. This series is full of funny misunderstandings and gripping action, perfect for children up to 11 years reading in the yellow band (book level 4 – 4.9)
Janis is currently visiting schools in the region as part of the forthcoming Hexham Book Festival
